The Academy program will promote advanced training in the areas of skill acquisition, strength, speed, evasion and fitness. Coupled with the on field training will be a focus on further educating players in off field issues that professional rugby league players face such as public speaking; being a role model; diet and nutrition education; drug and alcohol awareness and etiquette amongst other issues that will further assist a players overall personal and professional development.

The partnership opportunities are open to both companies and individuals, with a major focus from the Hurricanes to try and maximize the possibility of people from around the world to be involved with the Hurricanes movement.

There are 4 partnership opportunities available, with the first 3 aimed at the full squad which are classified as Gold, Silver and Bronze. Packages are attractively priced at between US$750-$1500, of which financial contributions will assist in facility hire and maintenance, apparel, equipment and resources such as school books and shoes. The forth package available is a Players Partner.

A Player Partner is an opportunity for individuals and companies to have a direct influence on an Academy player and all funds raised through this package will directly assist a selected player to participate in the Hurricanes Academy program. For US$150, partners contribution will assist with school fees, transport needs and basic resources such as water bottle and mouthguard. The player who directly benefits from this form of partnership will, amongst other things, correspond with the partner on a monthly basis to keep partner advised of their progress in the Academy program. This package will be termed "Framing JA Future" and the aim is to have at minimum 20 partners commit to this package, as that will fund 20 players through the program. The more partners we can attract will mean the more players will have the opportunity to participate in the Hurricanes Academy program. Partners are not limited to how many players they wish to partner with, so can assist multiple players if wishing too.   

The above packages have multiple benefits to partners and these benefits can be explained in detail to prospective partners by emailing info@hurricanesrugbyleague.com of which a Partnership Brochure can be requested and issued.
